I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer.

I never felt a need to manipulate my career from the outside - try to be someone I wasn't to get ahead.

Storytelling with music is a really powerful device.

I just don't think that I could be the kind of actor I want to be and not be honest with myself. Honesty is very important to me as an actor and as a person. I didn't even think about it.

A lot of my friends are club people. It's not me. It's funny to represent that, because it's not me. I don't fit into a gay club setting. It's just ironic that I represent that somehow.

It makes me proud, and it makes me scared. More than anything, I want to be an actor and I want to keep working, and I think there's a danger in being perceived as a poster boy for something.
